[QUOTE]Israel's Shin Bet security agency said Tuesday that it had arrested a Palestinian employee of a humanitarian program run by the Turkish government on suspicion of diverting funds to militants.
The Shin Bet said its interrogation of Muhammad Murtaja, the coordinator of the [URL="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/israel.htm"]Gaza[/URL] branch of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency, revealed how he had duped the organization by shifting funds to the military wing of the Islamic militant group [URL="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/hamas-palestine.htm"]Hamas[/URL], which rules Gaza.

It said Murtaja's activities included military training, manufacturing weapons and digging tunnels into Israel. The Shin Bet said one of Murtaja's schemes was to provide his superiors with a list of impoverished residents in the Gaza Strip who were candidates to receive financial aid. In practice, these lists were provided by Hamas and were actually militants, it said.
